A decades-old youth engagement initiative has found promising early results at its new Central Coast location.
The Street University, a long-established program focused on engaging vulnerable young people, is finding early success at its new site in Hamilton, according to program staff. The initiative aims to improve life outcomes for participants through mentoring and skills development.
Hamilton, located in the Gosford area, represents a strategic location for the Central Coast program, placing it within reach of young people across the wider region. The early success suggests the model is resonating with local young people facing barriers to education and employment.
For Central Coast communities, youth services and local schools, the program's strong start at Hamilton indicates there is sustainable demand for wrap-around support that addresses both practical skills and personal wellbeing. The outcomes will likely inform whether further expansion of the initiative across the Central Coast is viable in coming years.
